AT LEAST 58 migrants including a baby have died after their wooden boat broke apart trying to land in a storm off the south coast of Italy.

The overloaded vessel was destroyed as it crashed into rocky reefs yesterday.

Among those killed were 12 children, including a baby who was just a few months old, news agency AGI reported.

Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni said the migrants were crowded into the 66ft boat in adverse weather conditions.

One survivor was arrested on migrant trafficking charges, customs police said.
